I hadn't thought of the honing the position idea, but for this price, it might be a useful tool for finding your perfect position -- because it is adjustable, and it does allow experimentation.However, because it is fairly strong and secure, it can be used for a long time.I would caution against using this particular model on very rough fast downhill runs, though -- I use mine for urban commuting on flat terrain in northern NH on a mountain bike going over snowy and icy roads, because I wanted to be more upright in case of a slip-out. Works fine for that, and confirmed what I thought would be a better position.

I suppose the intended purpose is that it can be changed for different riders and/or riding styles. I have had one on my 1992 Rock Hopper for the last five years or so. I set it upright for casual riding and more forward for the trail.

The answer (seems to me) to be completely one of personal choice and physical set up in the area where you're going to use the mirror. While it swivels and extends/contracts easily the fitment of parts are tight and will stay where you position it. I've actually got mine on the wall behind where I sit and use it for rear view of my head - or - I turn to use it up close.

No not at all. That's not the purpose of this exercise ball. It is only filled with air. The idea behind it is that you balance yourself on it to find your perfect balancing point. This would be where your best posture and core development is. It is a great tool for toning your butt and core. I am 5'2 ½" and this ball is perfect height for me at a desk or table doing computer work. So the term "Stability Ball" generally means attaining your personal stability, excercise and development wise. Hope this helps. If any more questions, please ask!

I have just bought this device about 2 weeks ago. I use it when I know I will slouch. It reminds me to stand straight. I have bad posture for 30 years and I do not think I will be cured overnight. The good news is that my support is very comfortable and easy to use.

The idea is that you can rest your head on your hands while laying your head down. It also gets really warm in there, so you can stick your hand in to warm 'em up. Can't say I've ever used it for this reason though

I'd say you need to be standing to use this device. But you'd be surprised how much exercise you can get in 5 or 10 minutes. If you can stand for that length of time a couple of times a day, I think this machine could be very useful.

I suppose it would be possible depending on how tight you wore the EquiFit but I can't imagine that there would be any benefit.... Unless you wanted to wear it will walking or on a treadmill to remind yourself to stand up straight. If you were doing strenuous exercise it would be uncomfortable and since the point is to remind you to stand up straight and create new muscle memory, I am not sure that during exercise is the best time for that. It would be better to use it will sitting (hunching) over your desk or computer or driving, times when the tendency to forget proper alignment is easiest.

highly unlikely, the purpose is for balance while standing on or sitting on

It's best used in a static situation so it you were cooking and in the same place for a while then I would say there is benefit. Just be aware this is more for leaning and not full sitting like a stool. Good luck.

Existing design is best adjusted when we sit and work, but if you are half laying down and want to turn sideways its difficult due to its height limitation. Apart from this negative i feel the height adjusted is stable and gives the best use.

You have to decide where you want your elbow to be and bend into position. There was no discernable indication. I love mine and I searched for a long time.

Yes to both, once I found my perfect position I can now leave it in that position. Also the 110m is very helpful.

Yes. My husband says there is one trouble with this product and that is it becomes uncomfortable when you need to sit for a long period of time.

What a good idea! I love it when gadgets have multiple uses. In my opinion, it's certainly worth a try!

I agree with the two answers given. Great product and versatile enough to adjust to any height when sitting or laying in any bed.

My experience has been varied. If I don;t have the device correctly placed, I will experience discomfort (pain) within an hour. If it is correctly placed, I can get several hours of wear. I have yet to precisely identify what is correct placement. Apparently, the tolerance envelope is very narrow. I make no attempt to use the device while sleeping, thinking that the body needs some downtime relief. My incontenance problem is minimal while sleeping

This is a very good product, but as with most fitness items it's designed to work your muscles whether they have some fat over them or not. Fat will not change the effectiveness of the product. The real benefit will be seen with continued use of the product.
